Last year, Reba McEntire announced her surprise divorce from her husband after 26 years of marriage. Narvel Blackstock, her now ex-husband accompanied her to almost every red carpet function during their marriage.

For the first time since their divorce, Reba walked the red carpet with a date, which had everyone talking! A young, good looking man accompanied her to the historic CMA Awards, who also accompanied her in 1996, while she was still married to Narvel!

Her date for the awards show was none other than her 26-year-old son, Shelby Blackstock.

Shelby was proud to be his mom's date and documented their night on Instagram, calling her "the best mom ever," while Reba shared a photo from the first time they attended the CMAs together 20 years ago.
